Check Battery Capacity
CHECK BATTERY CAPACITYHINT:
- Make sure to use the TOYOTA electrical tester.
- With the battery unloaded, judge can not be made whether the battery is available or not on the test.
- When the transmitter is faulty, the energy amount left in the battery might not be checked correctly.
- On the lithium battery used for the transmitter, the voltage more than 2.5 V with the battery unloaded is shown on the tester until the energy is completely consumed. Accordingly when inspecting the energy amount left in the battery, it is necessary to measure the voltage when the battery is loaded. (1.2 k ohms).
a. Remove the cover using a (-) driver.
b. Remove the battery (lithium battery) from the transmitter.
c. Connect the lead to the (-) terminal of the transmitter and install the battery.
d. Connect the (+) tester to the (+) battery (lithium battery), and (-) tester to the lead respectively.
e. Press one of the transmitting switches on the transmitter for approx. 1 second.
f. Press the transmitting switch on the transmitter again to check the voltage.
Standard: 2.1 V or more
HINT:
- When the temperature of the battery is low, the judge can not be made correctly.
When the outcome of the test is less than 2.1 V, conduct the test again after leaving the battery in the place at 18 °C for more than 30 minutes.
- By auto power off function, the voltage becomes no load voltage (more than 2.5 V) condition after 20 seconds from the switch was pressed.
Make sure to read the voltage before of it.
- High voltage might be shown 1 to 2 times after leaving the battery, judge should be made with the voltage shown at the 3rd time or later.
g. Disconnect the lead.
h. Set the battery (lithium battery) in the transmitter.
i. Install the cover, so that the rubber cover is not distorted or slipped off.
